Albert-Wang - PeerSpot reviewer
Dynamic file analysis enhances threat detection capabilities
Cloud sandbox allows customers to analyze email and text documents without purchasing any hardware. The system analyzes files dynamically and provides feedback on the impact of the file. Cloud sandbox manages the analysis using Hillstone on the cloud, offering a service to detect unknown threats. It's easy to integrate and offers dynamic analysis supporting many types of files.

MOTASHIM Al Razi - PeerSpot reviewer
It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand
The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

More NetWitness Platform pros
 

Cons

"For implementation, if the system can improve or provide more training, it would be better."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"The product is expensive."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"It is cheap."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
